@bbrock: "We set up our 2000 network to force win98 machines to log 
on to the network. Now some of the machines have lost 
their DHCP lease and will not renew. We are locked out of 
the machine. Any ideas?"
    @oklier: "you can always get into a win98 machine. at the network 
prompt just hit the 'esc' key to get into the system. 
from there you can troubleshoot your network connection. 
BTW click 'start'->'run'->'winipcfg' then click 'release 
all' then 'renew all'. this forces the computer to 
release and renew the IP. troubleshoot from here...
